Nice attitude Adrian. If this were true OFBiz would simply not exist at all.

Why do I pay attention to Si's requests and not as much to others (ie sometimes prioritizing his higher)? Because Si is actively involved in the project and contributes a great deal. He also stays actively involved with Jira and what is happening in the project by compiling his list every week and regularly reviewing the Jira issues and helping with many of them, and identifying other important ones.

If you're not happy with the work done for free in OFBiz then why don't you do something about it. Be creative.
